第I卷（选择题共85分）
第一部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）
第一节：单项填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）
从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1. Four Chinese models were ______ the 14 people awarded prizes on Friday at the World Supermodel Competition.
A. among B. between C. along D. beside
【答案】A
【解析】主要测试介词，实际上测试名词的整体和部分的关系。译文：礼拜五世界超模大赛中十四名获奖模特中有四名是中国选手。有译文可知：四名中国选手和十四名获奖模特的关系应该属于：部分和整体的关系。
2. Since Tom ______ downloaded a virus into his computer, he can not open the file now.
A. readily B. horribly C. accidentally D. irregularly
答案：C
解析：accidentally意为“偶然地,意外地”。根据“...downloaded a virus into his computer”可判断出要用accidentally”，因为下载病毒是偶然事件。readily意为“乐意地,欣然,容易地”;horribly意为“可怕地,非常地”;irregularly意为“不规则地”。
3．When _______ what is the most efficient way to protect oneself from COVID-19, the expert says no doubt it is wearing a mask.
A．asking B．asked C．to ask D．having asked
答案：B
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：当被问及防护COVID-19最有效的方式是什么时，专家表示，毫无疑问是戴口罩。分析题意，从句部分无主语，故ask需用非谓语动词。在时间状语从句中，若前后分句的主语一致，则可以省略从句的主语。故ask的主语为 the expert ，此处两者之间表示被动关系。所以此处需用过去分词表示被动作状语。综上，故选B项。
4．There is not much difference between the two, I really don't know _____.
A．which should I choose B．what I should choose
C．which I should choose D．what should I choose
答案：．C
【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：这两者之间没有太大不同，我真的不是知道我应该选择哪一个。分析可知，设空处为宾语从句，从句应用陈述句语序，故排除AD；结合上文的“There is not much difference between the two”可知，此处有选择范围，表示“哪一个”应用which引导。故选C。
5．It was not until I got home _______ I found that I had left my keys in the office.
A．before B．when C．then D．that
答案：．D
【详解】考查not until的强调句型。句意：直到我回到家，我才发现我把钥匙忘在办公室了。not until的强调句型结构为： It is/was not until + 被强调部分（状语）+ that + 其它，其基本特点为删除It is/was及that，其余部分可以重新写成句子。本句去掉It is/was及that重写的句子为：I didn't find that I had left my keys in the office until I got home.结合选项可知，选项C符合题意。故选C。
6．________ English newspaper is one of the best ways to learn English new words.
A．To reading B．Reading C．Reads D．Read
答案：．B
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：读英语报纸是学习英语新单词的最好方法之一。分析句子可知，此句缺少主语，应用“read”的动名词形式作主语。故选B项。
7．Mr. Smith is a pleasant person who is easy ______.
A．to get along with B．to get along C．to be gotten along D．get along with
答案：．A
【详解】考查动词不定式主动表被动。句意：史密斯先生是一个很好相处的人。get along with sb.是一个固定短语，意为：与某人相处，在“be easy to do”结构中，to do用主动式表示被动含义，原短语中的介词with不能省掉。故选A。
8．I found most of my classmates friendly and _____________.
A．help B．helped C．helpful D．helpfully
答案：．C
【详解】考查形容词。句意：我发现大多数的同学都很友好并且乐于助人。A. help帮助（动词原形）；B.helped帮助（动词过去式）；C. helpful有帮助的（形容词），乐于助人的；D.helpfully乐于助人地（副词）。句中and表示并列，前后搭配的词性必须一致。根据句意及句子结构可知，设空处应填入形容词做宾补。故选C项。
9. During the period of recent terrorist activities, people _______ not to touch any unattended bag.
A. had always been warned B. were always being warned
C. are always warning D. always warned
【答案】B
【解析】主要测试动词的时态，同时兼顾测试固定结构。译文：最近恐怖活动猖獗时期，总是警告人们不要去触摸任何没有人看守的包。由平时的学习可知固定结构：warn sb not to do sth ，所以首先选择被动语态，因此排除C和D；再结合所给答案，最佳选项为B，因为A中的：过去完成时的被动式通常应该有动作的对比性，而题干中只有一个主要动词：warn，故此不属于最佳。
10. It is not immediately clear _______ the financial crisis will soon be over.
A. since B. what C. when D. whether
【答案】D
【解析】主要测试连词。此题同上面的第32题，解题的关键：连词的汉语意思区别。从语境可知译文：金融危机是否会很快结束会不是太明显。以后再遇到此类试题，解决的方法如下：直接考虑所给答案的汉语意思，不必外延。例如：—The experiment is of particular importance.—I see. We will carry on with it ________ we can get enough money.A. unless B. though C. whether D. Until 由题干可知试题的四个答案均为连词，而且意思各不相同，故此区别汉语意思。译文：----这个实验分厂重要。------依我看。我们是否有足够的钱来进行实验。
11. Hearing the dog barking fiercely, away ______.
A. fleeing the thief B. was fleeing the thief C. the thief was fleeing D. fled the thief
【答案】D
【解析】主要测试倒装。由语境可知译文：听到剧烈的狗吠声，小偷飞速跑掉。平时学习倒装时有一类：由于修辞的需要，在以副词away、ahead、down、up、in、out等情景生动描写的方位词用于句子的开头的，主语是名词时，主谓常用倒装语序，为了强调状语（主语是代词时，不用倒装）。例如：Down came the hammer and out flew the sparks。铁锤一落，火星四射。 Up and up went the prices.物价不断上升。
12. David threatened ______ his neighbor to the police if the damages were not paid.
A. to be reported B. reporting C. to report D. having reported
【答案】C
【解析】主要测试动词的固定搭配。测试方向同上面的第35题，解题策略：硬性记忆。平时的学习中应该记住：threaten to do sth 属于固定结构，因此先排除B和D；另外答案中的动词report和句子中的主语David应该属于主动关系，因此最佳为to report。译文：如果损失不得到赔偿，戴维威胁说会把邻居上告警方。例如：Every time they quarrel ，Jan threatens to leave。他们每次吵架时，简都威胁说要离开。
13．I _____ to Huizhou when I suddenly found that I was on the wrong road.
A．drove B．have driven C．was driving D．would drive
【答案】．C
【详解】考查谓语动词时态。句意：我正开车去往徽州，突然我发现走错路了。分析句子结构可知，本空在句中做谓语动词，句子后面有when从句，再根据句意，本句应用了固定结构：be doing...when...，意为“正在做......这时（突然）......”，事情发生在过去，所以主句用过去进行时态。故选C。
14．The winter of the speech contest was a _________girl called Jenny from America.
A．18—years—old B．18—year—old C．18—year—olds D．18 year old
【答案】．B
【详解】考查形容词。句意：演讲比赛的获胜者是一个18岁的来自美国的女孩，名叫珍妮。由连字符连接的形容词，名词用单数，故A项错误；形容词old无需加复数，故C项错误；D项中的year由18修饰，用复数，故选B。
15．____number of people invited is 50, but ___number of them were absent for different reasons.
A．A; the B．The; a C．A; a D．The; the
【答案】．B
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：受邀的人数是50人，但其中许多人因为不同的原因而缺席。the number of……的数量，a number of许多、若干，根据第一空后的数字50可知第一空指人数；根据第二空后的“were absent”可知第二空指很多人，故选B。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Two British teachers have broken the world record for the longest journey in a tuk-tuk after pulling their failing vehicle for 43 miles. Richard Sears and Nick Gough travelled 37,500 kilometres around the world and passed through 37 countries. They did this to support grassroots education project in Africa, Asia and South America.
The pair, who set off from London, thought their expedition was over when the vehicle started to fail. When the tuk-tuk broke, they were only 70 kilometres from their destination. They decided to pull it the rest of the way. The tuk-tuk, which weighs 800 kilograms, was pulled in turns by Richard and Nick over three days. On arrival in Chepen, Peru, they discovered a mechanic who specialized in tuk-tuks and managed to fix it.
The pair were back on the road and aiming for their next goal. Along their journey they had to tackle deserts and jungles. They also survived close encounters with elephants in Uganda and Botswana and an accident in Malaysia. The greatest hardship on the tuk-tuk was the mountain ranges lying in their path, including the Alps, the Himalayas and the Andes.
Nick and Richard uncovered some inspirational projects across Africa, Asia and South America. They witnessed first-hand the educational challenges facing these areas today. They joined street children in the slums of Cairo, Khartoum, Kampala, Mumbai and Phnom Penh. They visited Congolese refugees (难民) in camps in Eastern Burundi. They witnessed how education could free sex-workers in Delhi and victims of human trafficking in Nepal.
The pair established The Tuk Tuk Educational Trust, a UK registered charity.
Talking about their motivation, Richard said: “The world's leaders have made a commitment to achieving universal primary education but, in spite of this pledge (誓言,承诺), over 57 million primary-aged children worldwide are still out of school; many more are in school, though still cannot access quality learning opportunities.”
1.Why did the two teachers travel the world
A.To support an education project.
B.To create a new world record.
C.To entertain themselves.
D.To challenge themselves.
2.How far did the two teachers pull the tuk-tuk each day on average
A.A little more than 30 kilometres.
B.About 14 miles.
C.43 miles.
D.70 kilometres.
3.What is the third paragraph mainly about
A.How they realized their next goal.
B.Their exciting experience on the road.
C.The beautiful scenery of famous mountains.
D.The difficulties and dangers they faced in the journey.
4.Which of the following best describes the two teachers
A.Curious and brave.
B.Humorous and generous.
C.Courageous and responsible.
D.Efficient and honest.

3.D 段落大意题。根据第三段内容可知,本段主要讲了他们在旅途中所面临的困难和危险。故选D。

Although it’s great to spend vacations seeing the world with family,friends,or a lover,traveling alone can also be completely incredible.A solo adventure has the potential to be life-changing.Here are some reasons you should travel alone at least once.
If you enjoy meeting new friends,here’s your chance;you will likely find some when traveling alone.Since you won’t be focused on talking to anyone you know,you’ll be more likely to strike up conversations with strangers.Meeting people from different backgrounds opens our minds,expands our world,and can inspire us a lot.You may meet some amazing locals or other adventurers like yourself;either way you’re bound to make some new friends during your journey.
A trip alone can ignite your creativity.Spending time alone with an open mind can be exactly what you need for your imagination to soar.Your enthusiasm and passion for life may sky-rocket from your awesome adventure.
When traveling with a partner or a group,every idea can be bounced off someone else.When you travel alone,you will learn to be decisive;you will be making every decision alone.From where to eat,to what time to wake up,to what sights to see,and which airline to use,traveling solo forces you to rely on yours truly.As you realize you can make good choices without help from others,you will likely trust your instincts more,and this new found self-assurance and confidence will be helpful in many areas of your life.

解析细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“Meeting people from different backgrounds opens our minds,expands our world,and can inspire us a lot.”可知,遇到不同背景的人可以使我们开放思想,打开视野,让我们产生灵感。也就是说旅行可以让我们学到很多。故选B项。
答案C
解析细节理解题。A项(遇见新朋友),B项(激发你的想象力),D项(让你变得更有决策能力)分别对应文章第二、三、四段内容,只有C项(你会喜欢上独处)文章中没有提到。故选C项。
答案D
解析词义猜测题。画线单词所在句子句意为:你独自旅行时,你将学会变得更加坚定,你将会独自做每个决定。“decisive”与“making every decision alone(独自做每个决定)”属于同义替换。hesitate“犹豫的”;independent“独立的”;fearless“无畏的,大胆的”;determined“决定的,坚决的”。故选D项。
答案B
解析主旨大意题。作者通过三个理由想告诉读者人生至少要有一次机会独自去旅行。故选B项。
C
When you’re sitting in class or behind your desk waiting for the clock to strike a time when you can go home,it is natural that the mind can wander (漫游) a bit.It is common for your mind to wander to a vacation and even travel the world.What if there is a way that you can travel the world without having to pay any money
A person that managed to make it around the world without spending much was Shantanu Starick.How did he trade off his service Starick realized that as a photographer he had a service that people would usually be willing to pay money for,but he would instead offer his photography services to anyone who could provide him with food,shelter and transportation.Starick has been traveling for surprising 30 months and has visited countries ranging from the United States to Ecuador.
In English-speaking countries,trading off services and communicating aren’t difficult for Starick.However,in more far areas where there isn’t an English-speaking person in sight it can be quite difficult.More than anything locals appreciate (欣赏) the effort behind trying to speak their language,even if you don’t exactly sound like a native speaker.
You can do it too!
Honestly,with a bit of confidence,learn a skill you can trade,you’ll be able to do exactly the same as Starick.
Start thinking about what you can do to get around the world without paying money.With our social networks and the connectivity our world has,you can easily connect with and market yourself to people across the world without any effort.

13.【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。A项(遇见新朋友),B项(激发你的想象力),D项(让你变得更有决策能力)分别对应文章第二、三、四段内容,只有C项(你会喜欢上独处)文章中没有提到。故选C项。
14.【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“Meeting people from different backgrounds opens our minds,expands our world,and can inspire us a lot.”可知,遇到不同背景的人可以使我们开放思想,打开视野,让我们产生灵感。也就是说旅行可以让我们学到很多。故选B项。
15.【答案】D
【解析】词义猜测题。画线单词所在句子句意为:你独自旅行时,你将学会变得更加坚定,你将会独自做每个决定。“decisive”与“making every decision alone(独自做每个决定)”属于同义替换。hesitate“犹豫的”;independent“独立的”;fearless“无畏的,大胆的”;determined“决定的,坚决的”。故选D项。

My husband and I travel a lot. We had a horse, a wonderful horse called Dusty. We were out of town when a one-hundred-mile horse race went right past the road in front of my house. My horse decided that she wanted to compete in the race. So she jumped over the fence and left quickly.
The next day my husband and I came home. We found a note on the front door from the police. It said that my horse had gone back to the barn(牲口棚) on the other side of town. She had been born there eighteen years before. So we drove there. It was a lovely old farm. It was owned now by people I didn't know. The new owners were a man, his wife, and their children, two little girls aged seven and five. We saw Dusty was in the barn. When the little girls had gotten up that morning, they had started screaming, their father said. That was because at the top of the hill, with the sun rising, was this beautiful horse. They attracted her to the barn. They spent the day brushing her and treating her a lot.
The seven-year-old girl turned to me. She said, “Can I ride her before you take her back ” I said yes. And then I went to a local grocery store and bought a bottle of apple juice. When I returned, they told me they had always wished for a horse. But their parents really didn't have the money for one.
I told them I was going to give them Dusty. And I wanted them to make a vow. Someday when they were grown up, they each would find a little girl—a little girl they didn 't know — and give her some very special gift that she had always wanted.

Dear Jack,
How is everything going I'd like to share my travel experience with you. During the National Day, my parents and I paid a visit to Qingdao, which is a beautiful seaside city. On the early morning of October 1st, we got to Qingdao by plane. First, we went to the beach and played on the sand. It was the first time that we had seen the sea. In the afternoon, to enjoy various kinds of living things in the sea, we visited Qingdao Underwater World. The next day, we climbed to the top of Mount Lao, where we got a good view of the whole city of Qingdao. Although the visit was short, we had a wonderful time and gained a lot from it.
Yours,
Li Hua

Two British teachers have broken the world record for the longest journey in a tuk-tuk after pulling their failing vehicle for 43 miles. Richard Sears and Nick Gough travelled 37,500 kilometres around the world and passed through 37 countries. They did this to support grassroots education project in Africa, Asia and South America.
The pair, who set off from London, thought their expedition was over when the vehicle started to fail. When the tuk-tuk broke, they were only 70 kilometres from their destination. They decided to pull it the rest of the way. The tuk-tuk, which weighs 800 kilograms, was pulled in turns by Richard and Nick over three days. On arrival in Chepen, Peru, they discovered a mechanic who specialized in tuk-tuks and managed to fix it.
The pair were back on the road and aiming for their next goal. Along their journey they had to tackle deserts and jungles. They also survived close encounters with elephants in Uganda and Botswana and an accident in Malaysia. The greatest hardship on the tuk-tuk was the mountain ranges lying in their path, including the Alps, the Himalayas and the Andes.
Nick and Richard uncovered some inspirational projects across Africa, Asia and South America. They witnessed first-hand the educational challenges facing these areas today. They joined street children in the slums of Cairo, Khartoum, Kampala, Mumbai and Phnom Penh. They visited Congolese refugees (难民) in camps in Eastern Burundi. They witnessed how education could free sex-workers in Delhi and victims of human trafficking in Nepal.
The pair established The Tuk Tuk Educational Trust, a UK registered charity.
Talking about their motivation, Richard said: “The world's leaders have made a commitment to achieving universal primary education but, in spite of this pledge (誓言,承诺), over 57 million primary-aged children worldwide are still out of school; many more are in school, though still cannot access quality learning opportunities.”
1.Why did the two teachers travel the world
A.To support an education project.
B.To create a new world record.
C.To entertain themselves.
D.To challenge themselves.
2.How far did the two teachers pull the tuk-tuk each day on average
A.A little more than 30 kilometres.
B.About 14 miles.
C.43 miles.
D.70 kilometres.
3.What is the third paragraph mainly about
A.How they realized their next goal.
B.Their exciting experience on the road.
C.The beautiful scenery of famous mountains.
D.The difficulties and dangers they faced in the journey.
4.Which of the following best describes the two teachers
A.Curious and brave.
B.Humorous and generous.
C.Courageous and responsible.
D.Efficient and honest.

When you’re sitting in class or behind your desk waiting for the clock to strike a time when you can go home,it is natural that the mind can wander (漫游) a bit.It is common for your mind to wander to a vacation and even travel the world.What if there is a way that you can travel the world without having to pay any money
A person that managed to make it around the world without spending much was Shantanu Starick.How did he trade off his service Starick realized that as a photographer he had a service that people would usually be willing to pay money for,but he would instead offer his photography services to anyone who could provide him with food,shelter and transportation.Starick has been traveling for surprising 30 months and has visited countries ranging from the United States to Ecuador.
In English-speaking countries,trading off services and communicating aren’t difficult for Starick.However,in more far areas where there isn’t an English-speaking person in sight it can be quite difficult.More than anything locals appreciate (欣赏) the effort behind trying to speak their language,even if you don’t exactly sound like a native speaker.
You can do it too!
Honestly,with a bit of confidence,learn a skill you can trade,you’ll be able to do exactly the same as Starick.
